Question

PLEASE HELP !! Figure B is a scaled copy of Figure A. What is the scale factor from Figure A to Figure B?

Answer 1

The scale factor from Figure A to Figure B is
`0.5`

Explanation:

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is the scale factor

Let

z-----> the scale factor

In this problem

`z=(hB)/(hA)`

substitute values

`z=(2)/(4)=0.5`

the scale factor is less than 1

therefore

is a reduction
